As have mentioned in an earlier post....I wish no harm to any creature. However, if humans can interfere in this matter to avoid a territorial battle between Ravens and Falcon(s), then I think we should. I don't want to see a Falcon and/or a Raven injured because of this nest.
All we are trying to do is protect an endangered species...if we can. And since we can, then we should!
We all can't predict, but if the falcons that have been nesting here for years do comeback to this nest....it will get ugly, and why can't we try to avoid that? If the falcons don't come back to this nest site, then, we get to see Ravens raise their young and see how they live.
We all understand that every bird has a right to be somewhere as they got to this nest first....because it wasn't occupied (yet), however instinct is powerful! I hate to keep repeated myself here but, if humans can interveen to avoid an unnecessary battle which could lead to death(s). I understand that it is nature and this happens all the time but it's a little different when this is a nestbox that humans built for the purpose of helping in the recovery of the peregrine falcon!

When you are looking for links, I always try to set them up separately - usually with something like "Project Webcams" for a title.

I have been scouring the web to see if I could find anything about this situation. I found an old report from 1998 from the University of Tennesee and it was cached, was the only way I could read it as it's not online anymore.
It was about Raven's vs Peregrines in the wild; the report says they often shared nest cliffs but not at the same time. In cases where their 'timing' overlapped, it said they fought to the death for the nest site...as both had established it as theirs. Most of the time they said the peregrines won but in 3 recorded cases the ravens did...gah...!
That's why I'm concerned, I can't see the tiercel whose been there for years giving up his site. I know it's nature, I will keep telling myself that.

Haven't heard back from the folks in Edmonton yet, but they may decide to post a message on their website. I will post any information I hear here of course, but I would suggest that you all check the webcam website occasionally in case they post there instead.
